Isabella
I couldn't understand anything anymore. My brain felt like pins piercing through them. Damien gave me a scare when I first saw him but upon closer look, he wasn't the guard I thought he was in the palace. How could I explain to Jade when I couldn't hide my shock. I hope he believed what I said about my memory but I still couldn't get over it.A new form of fear caved into me, I felt restless. What if that seer told on me? Nothing was hidden from the seers though they usually don't speak directly. I had quite a scare, I thought my heart would cease to function. I will be exposed if a seer was consulted and did he say three full moons? It meant I had to work faster but how?All I wanted to do now was to rest my painful head and hope I don't die. Prince Marcus made it clear. It was either I succeeded or I would be dead if they found out who I was. I have to succeed. I just have to. I can't die yet when I haven't made my late father proud.Please remember to leave a review on this chapter.
Isabella Jade trod close to me. He gripped my shoulder tightly, holding me in place, his eyes pinned to mine. "Tell me the truth, Isabella. Do you have any powers?" My body went limp. What was I to say? It was indeed abnormal for me to heal on my own even though it was slow. But I didn't have any powers. His grip on my shoulder was so tight, I felt irritated. Trying to wiggle my way out of his grip only increased his hold on my shoulder. Darkness covered the forest with the moon giving its light, making his expression unreadable. "I don’t know." Disappointment flashed in his eyes at my response as he slowly let go of my shoulder. I couldn't understand what he wanted from me. Would he also hate me as Prince Marcus because I didn't have any powers? "Let's go." I wasn't so tense because I was telling him the truth. It's wonderful how doing the right thing feels good. I just wish my intentions were pure towards him and everyone else at all times. I al
I could predict Alpha Jade's reason for taking over my training. I knew he suspected something. This was his way of studying me closely and it scared me to the core. I feel that I don't even know myself very well so how could I prevent anything that might create suspicion? I also felt that he detected my lies and was searching for the truth inside of me. "You don't want me to be your trainer?" His tone waved of uncertainty and his eyes carried dissatisfaction. There was a bubble of grief in his demeanour and I felt awful. Deep down, I knew that his training would be the best because it drew us closer and helped me achieve my aim but I also couldn't help being frightened. Jade was wise and intelligent. He doesn't mince words and it hasn't been easy putting on this act in front of him. I'm sharing his room and he was going to be my trainer too, which meant I could never leave his side. But I also knew that he would be busy soon. His Supreme and Alpha duties couldn't be ign
Isabella My mind was weaving with so many thoughts. How did he know me? Was he a spy? I swirled around to meet his gaze. It was one of resolve. "Prince Marcus sends his greetings," his confirmation was crisp, I went numb. I gritted my teeth, my body tense, my toes curling into the ground. "What did you say?" "Prince Marcus sends his greetings," he confirmed vividly, his mug was indifferent. I wondered how he did it but there was a facade around him that made his countenance unreadable. "I don't know what you are talking about," I fibbed. Maybe he was just testing me. "Don't pretend around me, Isabella. Prince Marcus was here himself but couldn't reach you because the walls of the packhouse forbid him. He told me to pass a message to you." I felt my muscles re
My first reaction was a stun before I quickly regained myself, telling him my location. "I'm coming to get you," his deep, hasty voice sounded again. I missed him but I was also afraid, especially after knowing that Prince Marcus had infiltrated his pack. I felt like a villain. "No, I will be in the packhouse shortly," I countered. I needed time to put myself together but Jade never took no for an answer and especially not from me. "Stay there, I'm coming to get you." It sounded more like a command. I didn't answer anymore and the mindlink disconnected. "The Alpha is back," Daciana announced. I wondered if she intercepted my mindlink and if that was even possible. "How did you know?" "It's been announced by the Beta. I think the Alpha likes you," she added. I should be flattered but I was scared. Prince Marcus had told me that Alpha Jade never let any woman close but I was sharing his room well with
Isabella He froze at my action. It was my first kiss and I didn't know what to do after that but I made sure my lips remained pressed to his soft one. I relaxed a bit, perhaps he wanted this as much as I did. His hands found my butt and he lifted me from the floor. I wrapped my slender legs around his waist as he used his right hand to support my back, holding me in place as he deepened the kiss. His tongue invaded my patted mouth, exploring every inch and corner of it. I massaged his long curly hair, touching his scalp. His arms wrapped tightly around me as I felt something hard poking me when he turned me around, slamming my back against the door. He was rough with his actions but I liked it. The fact that he didn't treat me as a kid. We broke from the kiss, catching our breath just as my lips found his again. The more I tasted the softness of it, the hungrier I got. His mouth was warm and moist, it sent unusual pleasures through me. He su
Supreme Alpha Jade After my mate fell asleep in my arms, I gently laid her on her side and sneaked out of the room. I needed fresh air. I joined the warriors on patrol for a while but recalling her nightmares without me, I hurried back. She was already tossing and turning and instantly calmed when I wrapped my arms around her, taking in her scent. Bella didn't have our scent yet. She was absorbed in the scent of her shampoo, which was calming. I couldn't sleep because I was disturbed. I couldn't answer her question because I didn't have an answer. 'What if you find your mate? Will you let her go?' The mate bond wasn't something to be told. It was supposed to be mutual so I wasn't supposed to tell her. She would know when the time comes but what would I do by then? I don't know when sleep swallowed me yet I woke up with her sleeping soundly in my arms. I took time to watch her sleeping form. It was the best feeling ever but whe
Jade I tried not to react. Not to show any emotion. It would be a weakness on my part if I showed too much concern. It would also arouse suspicion about who Bella was to me. I couldn't let anyone know that now. This was Isabella's first fight and I knew well enough she wasn't ready to face someone like Luna Crane. 'You need to relax,' I mind-linked her but no response came from her so I went closer to her. Before I could speak, I heard Duke's deadpanned voice, "No." Just as expected, Luna Crane wasn't going to give up. "You are afraid she will die in her first fight?" She flaunted herself before the warriors, earning a few cheers. I couldn't comprehend her intention but I knew one thing for sure that she either wanted to hurt Bella badly or cause her extreme embarrassment. Either way, I knew I could trust Duke to handle it. "No, the one being unfair over here is you. This is her first real fight. It's supposed to be among fellow trainees and not a warrior," D
Beta Duke I admired Jade from the moment I laid eyes on him even though his father was vicious. I tried to transfer the bitterness I felt towards his father to him but Jade made it impossible. With his upbringing, I never expected him to have a soft side but he did. I think he also loved me the same. It was like our souls were knit momentarily. We were both kids when he joined the Warriors. At eight, he went to war with his father and the pack warriors yet his performance was stupendous. When I began training at twelve, Jade helped me secretly. When I got punished, he would come around and help me with my task. Sometimes, we got caught and he got punished by his father but he never stopped. Since then, I decided that I would sacrifice my life for him. Jade wasn't what people thought he was. You only experience his ruthlessness if you find yourself on his wrong side. When I met his mate, I liked her at once but I knew Jade would reject her. He was stil
